Mindset Tonight I really get excited for I meet several interesting guys on English corner,a New Yorker,a blond lady who comes from Seattle,a American born Chinese who programs some cellphone's APP,a Korean who had serviced military for 2 years and now exchange to our university,and a Chinese who don't have any degree but start up a IT company by his own.As you can imagine the sparks are there,and how we attract the other in conversation.We talk about gossips,politics,jokes,men and women,the sunk Korean ferry,what's different between making money and doing business?Is it a paradox that Christian disagree with homosexual marriage as they believe in everyone is born in equal?After discussion, admittedly,I truly get some insights into these questions and witness the mindset of people from different places could be diverse.Going abroad and living in another culture can indeed bring one a unique way to think over questions.Therefore,studying abroad is not only for a diploma or a language but for a new way of thinking,and you may be in shock sometimes when your mindset don't work in a new place or abroad.Then you will discover it's not you are wrong but just your mindset can't fit the generalization of a new place.

Tonight I really get excited for I meet had met several interesting guys people at the on English Corner., There was a New Yorker, a blonde [Blond is for a guy] lady who comes from Seattle,_and an American born Chinese who programs some cellphone's APP apps. [你嘅名單太長, 讀起上來同公司情報無異] Then there was a Korean who had did his two year serviced military service and is now for 2 years and now an exchange student in to our university. and Finally too, a Chinese who don't have any degree but started his own up a IT company by his own.__As you can imagine the sparks are there,and how we attract the other in how interesting our conversations were, given the eclectic group we were in.__We talk about discussed gossips,politics,_ tell jokes,_men and women, catch up with the latest gossips and of course, the terrible news of the sunken Korean ferry. Some of the topics we touched on were: what's the difference between making money and doing business?; Is it a paradox that Christian disagree with homosexual the issue of gay marriage as they believe in that everyone is born in equal? and the belief of Christian teaching...

After our discussion, admittedly,I had to admit that I gained much truly get some insights into these questions and to witness first hand how the mindset of people from different places could can be varied and diverse.__To be able to going abroad and living live in another culture can indeed bring one to mull over things such as these. a unique way to think over questions.Therefore, an overseas education studying abroad is not only is for obtaining a degree or for a diploma or to learn a new language but for a new way of boradens one's thinking.,and you may be in shock sometimes when your mindset don't work in a new place or abroad.Then you will discover it's not you are wrong but just your mindset can't fit the generalization of a new place.

Sure, there will be culture shock. It is not because your mindset is not working in the new environment but it just has yet to adapt to local conventions and thinking. Give it time.
